Last week (02/12 — 07/12) the North Macedonia TST for EJOI, EGOI and IOI took place in the Univerzitet Sv. Kiril i Metódij, where we were hosted by professor Biljana Angelova. The teams were selected based on contestants results on four different contests. There also were several classes on different common competitive programming topics, like FFT, Li Chao Tree, and 3D Convex Hull presented by ReaLNero and forelax. The contest were IOI-like, each lasting around 12 hours, with no breaks, in order to prepare contestants to adverse testing conditions. (Just kidding, they were standard 5 hours contests)
Day 0
On the first day, we didn't have any tests, since everyone was just arriving. However, we had to move to another hotel, since a particular group of people were making too much noise and got us banned from the hotel. (They were watching Sausage Party 2 and laughing too much with it. Highly recommend this awesome movie btw).

Day 1
This was the first day with contest. Many unexpected things happened this day during the contest. Deide Costa, who got 13th place on the national test, surprisingly managed to snag a 5th place during the first day
